Out( Readers will find in the fiarther extra which we have this day given from the last GOten burgh Mails, a very important article dated, Copen - hageh which affords the most tleOlsive evidence.Of the hostile disposition of Donmaik towards thi6 Country long before our attack upon that Capital. The article to which we-allude states, that es early as Jay last it: was sapposed in the of France, that a War Getween England and Dennzqrh was an auoidalle, and therefore an Embargo was laid upon all Danish Ships lying there. This Embargo must have been laid in cJnseqUence .of inforMation sent out in the early, part of. last year, and it affords not only . the most unquestionable evidence of• theinti, mate:connexion - subsisting between France and Den mark, but it proves, beyond all Possibility of a doubt, that, early in the last year, several months 'before our Expedition to Copenhagen, even before . the late Administration went out of Of&e, Denmark had determined upon a war with England. If there be any rational unprejudiced man in the Kingdom that eniertainsa doubt respeaing the wisAoriiand policy of the Expedition tp Copenhagen, that doubt must now beremovcd, because it is now confessed by the Danes t hemselves, that many months before that event they had determined upon a War with England; and consequently, if we had not taken possession of the Danish Fleet, it would have been employed, in con junction with those of France and Russia, against' us. The question of the Expedition to Copenhagen is therefore now laid at rest for ever, and the Oppo sition must, if they possess the slightest particle of caudour, retract all the censures which they have so liberally bestowed upon Admiuistration, and ac knbwledge the wisdom of that measure which they have so loudly Condemned. We did indeed think, ►hat, , after,the peoduCtien of Lord Howlett's Note to Mr. ROT, the Opposition Speakers and Writers. Would out again have ventured to talk of the desire of Denmark' to preserve stria, Neutrality, be cause his Lordship charges the Danes, in the most 'unequivocal language, and upon the most unquestionable evidence, with gross partiality • for France. How, after ,inch a Document, the Fricods of the late Ministers could declaim about the viola tion of the neutrality or Denmark, it is not easy to conceive ; but now, in addition to as solemn re corded testimony of the late Administration, of th e gross partiality which the Danish Government had maunested towards France, we have the open on fassion orate Danes themselves, that they had so fully determined, early in the last year; upon joining France in the War. against us, that orders were sent out to the Isle of France. to lay an Em. barge upon the: 11111611 VesSels lying there, to , prevent their falling into our !lauds. We cannot quit this subjeet without observing, that the French and Danish Papers have; manifested a most cruel (i. regard for the feelings of the Opposition Writer.; in this Country. All the eloquent, deciannitiOn, all the positiye assertiens which filled the Opposition Papers upon the subject of the Emigration of the Court of Portugal, were at once completely . . over turned by hp unlucky paralraph in the 4floni tear,' and now all the whining lamentations about our attack upon life • innocent; unoffendieg Danes, who were only anxious to , preserve their neutiality; is answered bey a*atik acknowledgment, ofthe Danes themselveS—that t hey did not mean to preserve their neutrality. ) on the contrary, that they had determined upon a War with this Country, months before our Expedition to Copenhagen took place, or Was even thought of! The liarnbargh CorrespandentenContains an sett,. 'de stating, that the Letter which was published in that. Paper some ; t ago, purporting to be a Letter from BUONAPARTE to the Prince of ASTURIAS, ap minting him Generalissimo of the forces destined for the invasion of Portugal, was iklitiolls ) no such Letter having been sent. The Cams Frigate has arrived at Plymouth. Our Readers will rccolledt . -that this was the Frigate which was.chaced en the 24th ult. by a Ship of the Line and a Frigate, and very shortly afterwards fell in with Sir JOus DOCKNk;ORTII, to wham she gave in» formation of the track which the French Squadron was steering. . .

Thursday, the puke of CLArtuNcs paid a visit to their MAJESTIES and PlllNcissEs, and in the after- . ndou returned to Bushy Park. CoPCNII4GEN, JAN. 1 g.—lt appears that as early as the month of July. last, it was supposed in the Isle of Fran - ce, that a war must at last be unavoida- We between England and Denmark,--on which ac. couia an embargo was laid on all the Danish Ships lying there ; a hope is therefore entertained, that, by this measure of the Fteuch Government there, many of the Ships of our merchants and trading companies will escape being captured. By the fitting out of the Danish Fleet, orders for which havobeett sent down to Portsmouth, it is very manifest what was the real motive for the rob bery committed there, , could any doubt remain concerning it. The' English at first boasted that they had ships enough, and only wanted to detain outs,', that they might not be employed against them, TO encourage cur manufaaures, and annoy the. Enemy; the , following three measures have been pro ! . pose 4 as the'rnost efficient :-1. The prohibition of the use and importation of any English manufac tures ; 'he introdnaion of a national dress ; 3. The establishment of a great privateering com pany, he privateers of whibli should keep at no great distance from each other, so as to be able to come to each other's aid on the first gutt's ring,' by Which means they might be enabled to capture the convoying Ship and • all the Vessels under its convoy. This, it is stated in the plan, might easily be effe&ecl, if the ship of war be attack : - ed at the same time at the head, the stern, and on both sides, by the above number of Privateers, each having from go to 30 guns. The Coast of Norway and the West Indian Seas are the must pro per places for such Privateers le cruize. This plan comes from a Marine Officer. • The heavy storms which raged last week occasioned great anxiety fur the, safety of the Royal Yach t which carried Governor .110131 MED to Bornholm, bni this fear is row removed, since we have learned that, during the ; storms, he lay at anchor in the Bay of Kioge. The Ship of War Prince Christian Frederick likewise, after a speedy and safe passage, has ar 7 rived in Norway with the Transports under its convoy. • BERLIN, JAN. 23.--The number of Officers killed 'and wounded in twelve Prussian Regiments in , the, battle of Auerstadt amounted to 225. The whole number of Officers in these Regiments at the time of the battle amounted to 480, therefore 255 're main unhurt Generals were Wed or wounded at Auerstndt and Jena, and seven Officers of the Statf. fiAItBURGII, JAN. 25.—1 n No. 195, of this Ga zette of last year, we inserted a letter, purporting to be a letter from his Majesty the Emperor of the French to his Rbyal Highness the Prince of Astu. rias, and notifying to the latter the. r present 'of a sword and his appointment to be Generalissimo of the army then on its march for the conquest; of Por- tugal..
